Frequently Asked Questions
We welcome your questions. In fact, we encourage them. Here’s a list of common questions potential clients and their loved ones often want to know.
How do counseling sessions typically last?
Counseling sessions typically last 60 minutes for the first session and 45 to 50 minutes for each additional session. Please do ask your Waves’ therapist if you would like a different session length as longer sessions can often be accommodated with an adjusted fee.
How often will I need to come to counseling?
We find that clients who attend weekly sessions get the best results.
How much do sessions cost?
Sessions with Dr. Camilla Williams cost $225 for every 45-50 minute session and sessions with Dr. Abigail Weissman cost $230 for each 45-50 minute session. Additional charges apply for coordination of care and letter writing
Are sessions covered by my insurance?
It depends on the plan whether sessions are covered by one’s insurance. Sessions will need to be paid for at the time of the session. Clients can ask their insurance to reimburse them for session cost.
How do I seek reimbursement from my insurance company?
In order to seek reimbursement from your insurance company, you would need to call them and ask what services are covered. Please note that we are not participating in any insurance plans. Often, insurance companies request a detailed receipt, often called a superbill. We will provide that receipt for you in the portal, if you let us know that you would like one.
Do you have evening appointments available?
Dr. Camilla Williams’s last appointment begins at 6 pm.
How long will I need to come to counseling?
It really depends on the person and their goals. Length of treatment will be discussed with you during the first few sessions along with their therapeutic goals . . During treatment, we encourage clients to check in with us about how therapy is progressing and we clinicians will check in with you about how therapy is going and adjust our time frames accordingly.
Where do sessions take place?
Due to COVID-19, sessions take place on-line. When the pandemic is over, sessions will be available on-line or in person, at our Bankers Hill and Rancho Bernardo, San Diego offices.
